Trollhaugen and Wild Mtn both opening this weekend. I'm up north deer hunting but I'm thinking by next weekend these places will be 25-50% open already.

Tip of the Mitt
Boyne and Nubs took a run at operating their guns last night but it got too cloudy and warm.
We don't have anything on the ground but it is snowing right now and 4" are expected tonight.
The rumors are flying as the resorts call in their snowmaking crews.
I expect limited opening next weekend at Boyne Mountain.
There will be good snowmaking temps at night this week so others may open too.

Chestnut, not sure if guns started or if the regular snow we got 8th to 9th, suspect they'll have them in running evening with lower temps as they list planning Thanksgiving w/ $20 lifts

Ha, and it was from the National Weather service too. Now if it was from johndee.com then I wouldn't be so surprised.

Daughter said they got 6" in Marquette too.

Crazy how a few areas on the map I posted are in blue surrounded by areas of 6"+ of snow. I know lake effect can be isolated at times, but this was fairly widespread in the UP. Especially like the tip of the Keewenaw. I wonder if that's from not having a spotter and so not accurate, or if that's just how it works up there.

All the areas that got 12"+ are the higher elevations, i think. Certainly by Bessemer, Wakefield up thru the Porkies; as well as My Bohemia. Prob makes a big difference with that extra 500-800' of elevation.

I think mainly a elevation. Ski Brule can get snow when the rest of the area doesn't, because it is a few hundred feet higher.

In central Wis., there were some small squaws, so maybe that too.

Welch open this weekend with 3 lifts and 3-4 runs.

Everyone is open but Afton locally. Typical...

Hoping Trollhaugen can get a few more runs open asap here. I like there to be 3+ runs before I head out typially.
